When Bernard returned from his trip, he found that a new bookstore had opened next to his Black Bookstore.The interior of the bookstore is neat and orderly, full of modern technology, and equipped with all automatic equipment.Customers were attracted one after another and were willing to go to that bookstore to read and buy books, but Bernard's used bookstore became deserted.Bernard didn't seem to care about this. He sat in the bookstore doing nothing all day, letting the garbage pile up and books scattered in the store.

Fran returned to the bookstore and was surprised to see Bernard like this.She asked Bernard about Manny's whereabouts, but Bernard told her that Manny had broken up with him and went to work in the bookstore next door.Fran then went to the bookstore next door and persuaded Manny to return to Blake's Bookstore, but Manny firmly refused and said he would not forgive Bernard.Fran was very angry about this and left angrily.

In order to monitor Manny's activities in the bookstore next door, Bernard cut a hole in the wall of the bookstore.Through this hole, he could clearly see Manny's every move in the bookstore next door.Fran once again persuaded Bernard to apologize to Manny, but Bernard insisted that he was not wrong and refused to apologize.Manny was also resolute and unwilling to reconcile with Bernard.

Even though Manny works in the bookstore next door, he still lives in Black's.Fran tries to bring the two together in the hope that they can reconcile.On the surface, Bernard promised well, but when he apologized to Manny, he was rude and angered Manny.Therefore, Manny decided to stay in the bookstore next door, and Bernard couldn't even make coffee because he lost Manny's help.

One day, the owner of the bookstore next door forced Manny to cut his hair, but Manny firmly refused.This sudden change frightened Manny. He hurried back to Blake's Bookstore and apologized to Bernard.Seeing Manny's fear and uneasiness, Bernard also realized his mistake, and the two finally reconciled.
